Product details
Overview
SMBJ8.0D-M3/H from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, with 8.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 9.03–9.69 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 13.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 35 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating per 10/1000 μs waveform-designed to protect MOSFETs and ICs against inductive switching transients in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ8.0D-M3/H datasheet, SMBJ8.0D-M3/H pinout, SMBJ8.0D-M3/H application, or SMBJ8.0D-M3/H equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, ±3.5 % VBR tolerance, low leakage (<500 μA at VWM), M3 halogen-free RoHS-compliant construction, and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a clamping device in parallel with sensitive circuit nodes, conducting only when reverse voltage exceeds VBR to limit transient overvoltage to VC. Its low incremental surge resistance and fast response time ensure effective suppression of ESD and lightning-induced surges without affecting normal signal integrity during VWM operation.
The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H is rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C, with thermal resistance RθJA = 125 °C/W on minimum pad layout and RθJM = 20 °C/W to mounting surface-enabling reliable operation in compact industrial and automotive power modules where board space and thermal management are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 8.0 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins |
| VBR min/max | 9.03 V / 9.69 V at 1 mA - tight ±3.5 % tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across production lots |
| VC @ IPPM | 13.4 V at 35 A - clamping voltage limits downstream component stress during 10/1000 μs surge events |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling capability per standard 10/1000 μs waveform |
| ID @ VWM | <500 μA - low reverse leakage preserves efficiency in battery-powered or high-impedance sensor interfaces |

Applications
| Industrial Motor Drives | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of IGBT gate drivers against voltage spikes induced by inductive load switching in 24 V DC motor controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between gate and source to clamp negative transients and prevent gate oxide breakdown.

| Telecom Power Supply Inputs | Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Input-stage protection of 48 V telecom rectifier modules subjected to lightning-induced surges on AC/DC front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-level TVS on DC output rail to clamp transients before they reach downstream DC/DC converters. Use Value: 9.03–9.69 V VBR allows clean turn-on above ripple envelope while limiting clamped voltage to 13.4 V during 600 W events. | Use Scenario: Protection of analog input pins on 3.3 V microcontrollers interfacing with 0–10 V industrial sensors subject to field wiring ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage unidirectional TVS placed between sensor line and MCU VDD/GND to shunt fast transients. Use Value: Sub-500 μA leakage at 8.0 V VWM prevents signal offset errors in high-impedance sensor bridges and maintains ADC accuracy. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ8.0A-M3/H | Same VWM/VBR/VC specs but uses "A" marking code instead of "F"; identical electrical and mechanical characteristics | No functional difference; alternate marking variant for same unidirectional 8.0 V TVS | Select SMBJ8.0A-M3/H if legacy BOM references "A" code; otherwise SMBJ8.0D-M3/H is preferred per current Vishay documentation |
| P6SMB8.0A | Same SMB package and 8.0 V VWM, but 600 W PPPM rating derived from different test methodology; VBR tolerance ±5 % vs. ±3.5 % | Lower VBR precision may require larger design margin in critical clamping applications | Use P6SMB8.0A only where tighter VBR tolerance is not required and existing qualification covers its alternate surge test profile |
Compared with SMBJ8.0A-M3/H, the SMBJ8.0D-M3/H offers identical performance with updated marking; versus P6SMB8.0A, it delivers superior VBR consistency and verified M3 process compliance-making it preferable for new designs requiring repeatable clamping thresholds and industrial-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for SMBJ8.0D-M3/H?
The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 9.03 V to 9.69 V at 1 mA test current, corresponding to a ±3.5 % tolerance around the nominal 9.36 V typical value. This tight tolerance is confirmed in Vishay's Document Number 87606, Revision 09-Jan-2024, and directly impacts clamping predictability in precision protection circuits. The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H must be selected where consistent turn-on behavior across temperature and production lot is required.
Is SMBJ8.0D-M3/H unidirectional or bidirectional?
SMBJ8.0D-M3/H is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor, indicated by the "D" suffix (as opposed to "CD" for bidirectional variants). Its cathode is marked with a band, and it conducts only when reverse-biased beyond VBR-making it suitable for DC rail protection where polarity is fixed. This configuration is explicitly defined in the Vishay SMBJ5.0D–SMBJ188D datasheet, and the SMBJ8.0D-M3/H does not support symmetrical clamping in both directions.
What is the clamping voltage of SMBJ8.0D-M3/H at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H exhibits a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 13.4 V at its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 35 A, measured using the standardized 10/1000 μs double-exponential waveform. This value is critical for ensuring downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events, and it is validated per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H achieves this with low incremental surge resistance, contributing to stable clamping performance across repeated transients.
Does SMBJ8.0D-M3/H meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes, SMBJ8.0D-M3/H carries the "M3" suffix, which denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction and industrial-grade qualification per Vishay's material categorization standards. It also passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability for the molding compound. These attributes are documented in the mechanical data section of the official SMBJ series datasheet (Document Number 87606), confirming the SMBJ8.0D-M3/H is suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and automotive deployments.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ8.0D-M3/H under standard mounting conditions?
The SMBJ8.0D-M3/H has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended PCB pad layout, and 100 °C/W on a 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pad. Its junction-to-mount (RθJM) is 20 °C/W. These values-listed in the Thermal Characteristics table of Vishay's Document 87606-define safe power derating curves and confirm the SMBJ8.0D-M3/H can sustain 1.0 W at TA = 25 °C and 5.0 W at TM = 50 °C with appropriate thermal design.
